DREAM GreenREFORM-EU

Tilgængelighedserklæring

Accessibility statement

This statement covers the GreenREFORM-EU website. It follows the structure set by the Danish web accessibility act and the EU model statement.

This is a draft on a mockup, not a valid statement. A statement only counts when it is created in Digitaliseringsstyrelsen's WAS-Tool and published at the standardised address was.digst.dk/<domain>. Two things must be settled before that can happen: whether DREAM is a public body covered by the act, and the site's own domain. Both are listed under What is still open.

Which rules apply

The Danish web accessibility act requires public bodies to meet the harmonised European standard EN 301 549. For a website, the substance of that standard is WCAG 2.1 at level A and AA. Chapter 10 of the standard covers documents that are not web pages, which for this site means the model documentation and the published papers, and the user guide when it is published.

Compliance status

To be stated once the site is built and tested. The statement must say whether the site is fully compliant, partially compliant or not compliant, and that wording has to rest on an actual test of the delivered site, not on this mockup.

Non-accessible content

The statement must list what is not accessible, under three separate headings, and each item must name the requirement it fails.

  1. Non-compliance with the act. Content that falls short and will be fixed, with a date.
  2. Disproportionate burden. Content exempted on grounds of burden, with the assessment that justifies it.
  3. Content outside the scope of the act. For this site the likely candidates are archived documents published before the relevant deadline, and third-party content the site does not fund, develop or control.

The PDFs belong here until they are tested. A document produced from LaTeX is not tagged for accessibility by default: reading order, alternative text on figures, table headers and document language all have to be added deliberately. This is the largest open item on the site, because the documentation is the main thing the site exists to deliver.

Preparation of this statement

The statement must record the date it was drawn up, the method used, and the date it was last reviewed. It has to be reviewed whenever something changes that affects it, and in any case at least once a year.

Feedback and contact

Anyone who meets a barrier on this site must be able to report it and ask for the content in an accessible form. The act requires both a written and a telephone contact, and the written route must not sit behind a login or any other inaccessible check.

TelephoneTo be added. The act requires a telephone number; the site does not currently publish one.

Enforcement procedure

If a report goes unanswered or the answer is unsatisfactory, the complaint goes to Digitaliseringsstyrelsen, which supervises compliance with the act. The final statement must say so and link to the supervisory authority.

What is still open

Is DREAM covered? The act applies to public authorities and bodies governed by public law. Whether DREAM is one is a legal question, and it decides everything else on this page. It also decides which tool may be used: WAS-Tool is only for bodies covered by the act, and private actors are expressly not allowed to publish statements through it.
